EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1913, showcases the enchanting and unusual Devils Bridge in the picturesque village of Pontarfynach, near Aberystwyth, Wales. Nestled in the heart of Ceredigion, this popular tourist attraction is renowned for its striking beauty and rich history. The Devils Bridge is a marvel of engineering and history, consisting of three separate bridges built at different times. The oldest bridge, dating back to the 11th or 12th century, is a stone bridge that spans the Mynach River. The second bridge, constructed in 1753, is also made of stone and was built to support the growing population and commerce in the area. The most recent addition, an iron bridge, was erected in 1901 to accommodate the increasing number of tourists and improve accessibility. The bridge's gothic appearance and steep, dangerous drops have long intrigued visitors, making it a must-see destination for tourists from around the world. The men in this photograph, dressed in Edwardian attire, stand on the bridge's sides, taking in the breathtaking view and capturing the moment on film. The Devils Bridge, with its rich history and unique architecture, continues to be a popular attraction for tourists seeking adventure and a glimpse into the past. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the enduring allure of this Welsh landmark.
